Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1919199A2] A multiband camera system includes: a first sensor (137) for generating a first object image and a first alignment image in a first frequency band; a second sensor (139) for generating a second object image and a second alignment image in a second frequency band; and an internal alignment assembly (225). A splitter device (235, 288) directs radiation in the first frequency band from the object to the first sensor (137) to form the first object image, directs radiation in the second frequency band from the object to the second sensor (139) to form the second object image, directs radiation in the first frequency band from the internal alignment assembly (225) to the first sensor (137) to form the first alignment image, and directs radiation in the second frequency band from the internal alignment assembly (225) to the second sensor (139) to form the second alignment image. The first alignment image and the second alignment image establish a reference for aligning the first and second object images.
